The 2015 UIL State Marching Contest concluded late last night with the White Oak Regiment of Roughnecks, the ONLY Military Marching Band to have been chosen from the state to compete against corp bands, placed 5th in the entire state.  The discipline and precision with which they performed was unmatched by any band, and their presence represented the White Oak Tradition flawlessly.

This group of young men and women are exemplary examples of this district’s educational beliefs, and White Oak is proud of each and every one. Jason Steele and his team stated it best in a Remind101 note to his band members before results were announced, “We are very proud of you all, regardless of the outcome. It is our honor to teach you all. We left all we had there, and that’s all that matters. ” Likewise, Mr. Steele, we are honored to have you lead the White Oak Roughneck Band. Thank you for all you have taught our students.
